NO they would vote for whoever says they dont have to work just step to the mailbox and get your check He is taking the work requirement out of unemployment . It wouldn't matter what color the candidate is , just give us free stuff you go to work I will stay home and you give to me thats Obamas vision. Hes a socialist and thats where he's taking us This is appealing to most poor no matter what color they are. When Obama says his vision is to share Prosperity thats what he means. Obama has turned this into black against white rich against poor, his motto is divide and conquer and he has done an EXCELLENT job at doing so

Well, I guess we disagree on the mentality of poor people. You mention Hispanic people, but those are some of the hardest working people I’ve seen. And, they work that hard for a lot less money. Sometimes people just need a chance to do better.

Seriously? You think that's the average Obama voter? You pick a sound bite from an interview of one person, and say that's that average Obama voter. Further, what was she talking about? How was Obama going to make it possible for her not to worry about putting gas in her car or pay her mortgage? Maybe she was out of work, and thought Obama would stimulate the economy and provide jobs. Maybe she was already working and thought Obama's policies would help the economy recover so she would have security in her job. Perhaps she didn't feel any of that would happen under McCain. We really don't know what she was talking about from that little segment. But, we do know that she never said Obama's going to "give" her money to pay for her gas and her mortgage. Since she already had a car to put gas in and a house with a mortgage, she probably wasn't relying on handouts now.

Sorry when you quit your job because you can stay home and make as much money there is a problem. Doesnt matter if your black white or hispanic. I wasn't just talking about hispanics we have all colors here.

Take a deep breath Blackstone... Can't believe you haven't seen that video. Gotta admit its pretty funny.

Yeah, I've seen it before. I thought it was misleading then, and I still think so. It was used to foster a myth. It might be funny if there weren't people that believe it, but it seems plenty of them do.

How many people do you know that quit their job to get on welfare and live below the poverty level? I would like free food, gas, rent & healthcare too, but I'm not quitting my job to get it. I have a feeling that none of what I get for free will compare to what I get if I work and pay for it. Somehow, people have this misconception that living on welfare is a good time. It isn't. It's actually a pretty tough existence.

I personally know people that have lost their jobs, looked for a year and cant get one and wont take the type of job they could get. Now that the Pres said no problem we will take care of you, they have given up even looking for a job they will get by on the Gov't. Why work? When my dad had to take unemployment to him it was shameful, its not like that anymore. He was an Executive that took a job delievering newspapers just so he could work. Look at the stats of people on welfare food stamps now They can take a min wage job in fast food or sit home and get their check in the mail doesnt take a rocket scientist to know which one they will chose, only because they can Obama has made it that easy. The law was if your on unemployment you need to actively look for work now they dont have to just get the check. There are good people out there that under this admin have lost their jobs, homes and need help and thats what the system is in place for .. Its the ones that now dont have to work dont even look for work and we will take care of you that I have a problem with.
Obama has done to the US just what he set out to do, and this is just the start. When he isnt facing re election he will do say anything he has nothing to lose.

Anyway, sorry this is getting off the topic of Crazy Joe Biden just keep him locked up. He's a joke

I have known several that, when offered more hours and go to full time employment, with benefits, refused for fear they will loose their "checks". "Na man if I work more hours they take my checks away"
